Are these any good? The light weight is obviously the thing for me but just wondering about comparisons with Record rd and the durablility of the thing, looking quite fragile imo. Anyone got one? Thanks.

Richness is measured by the number of friends you have that will dig you out of the poo, should you find yourself there,.......and not by the number of 1100$ derailleurs you can purchase IMHO.
Just rambling again.

An interesting comparison is the finished product that FelixOR built.
He filed, drilled replaced bits and tinkered with a Record RD ....and eventually painted it black (yep....humble spray paint) and did a pretty good job, I think.
From memory it weighed about 130g and shifts like any other well maintained Record RD. I wonder what the total cost was.....probably in the 300$ ish range.

We had one in and it was flexy-rubbish. According to Poshbikes (UK), Lightweight have addressed the issue by not supplying it anymore.
It was sorely tempting of course but I don't really think it should have ever been released. Back to a previous poster - yes, it must be back at the drawing board.
